Multicultural education is one of the most important and contested areas of education research. As society at large increasingly becomes culturally diverse, educators and policy makers have struggled to understand the role of education in reflecting, resisting, or encouraging greater diversity. This six-volume collection brings together the most important articles that analyse and explain the goals and challenges of creating a multicultural classroom. Coverage addresses all major factors: the curriculum taught, the institutions that educate, the politics of education, the students that learn, the education of teachers and the many and conflicting ways of assessing students and institutions.
